摘要: A simple method, utilizing a noninductive connection, is described for the direct measurement of resistive component potential drop across semi‐enclosed arc. By this method resistance, power dissipation, and efficiency are determined an arc due to capacitor discharge having peak current about 2.5×105 A. The minimum resistivity found be 1.5×10−3 Ω cm, value lower than values reported previously. curve analyzed determine resistance entire circuit. Inductance interrelation considered further.
